The upcoming game between the Georgia Bulldogs and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets this Friday is set to be another high-stakes chapter in one of college football’s oldest rivalries. Both teams enter this game with two or fewer losses. And while Georgia Tech is not likely to rise up the rankings to make the College Football Playoff, they will try to hand Georgia a loss that would wreck their playoff seeding. Here, I break down this rivalry game on Black Friday and make my Georgia vs Georgia Tech prediction.

Key Storylines
- Playoff and postseason stakes for Georgia. At 10–1 and ranked fourth in the country, Georgia is in a strong position to return to the College Football Playoff. The Bulldogs have no control over their destiny when it comes to making the SEC championship game, as they need a loss from either Texas A&M or Alabama this week to get there. But Georgia could guarantee themselves a playoff spot with a win, no matter what happens with the SEC standings.
- Georgia Tech hoping to play spoiler. At 9–2, Georgia Tech is coming off a 42–28 loss to Pittsburgh that likely ended their ACC title hopes and hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff. This game is about salvaging the season and making it harder for Georgia with playoff seeding in mind.
- Neutral venue…sort of. Playing in Atlanta at Mercedes-Benz Stadium makes this a neutral-site game, technically speaking. But Georgia Tech is based in Atlanta, while Georgia is the more popular team in the area. It will be interesting to see how the crowd looks for this contest.
Quarterback Play
- Georgia: Gunner Stockton has thrown for 2,465 yards this season, with 19 touchdown passes and just 4 interceptions. Stockton is also contributing significantly on the ground with 8 rushing touchdowns this season.
- Georgia Tech: Georgia Tech’s Haynes King has passed for 2,516 yards with 12 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. He has rushed for 883 yards with 15 rushing touchdowns. That dual-threat ability gives Georgia Tech more ways to beat opposing defenses than most teams, as Georgia saw in their meeting last year.

Final Thoughts
My expectation for this game is for Georgia to get the win and go into the College Football Playoff well inside of the top 10 in the rankings. But I’m taking the points with Georgia Tech in this matchup, as Haynes King should cause problems for the Georgia defense just like he did last year.
